1. A plasma display device, comprising:
- a plasma display panel;
a circuit board assembly spaced apart from the plasma display panel;
a chassis base interposed between the plasma display panel and the circuit board assembly, wherein the chassis base comprises first and second surfaces, wherein the second surface faces away from the first surface, wherein the first surface faces the plasma display panel;
at least one driver integrated circuit package electrically connected to the plasma display panel and the circuit board assembly, and passing over at least one edge of the chassis base;
a reinforcing member connected to the edge of the chassis base; and
a cover plate covering the at least one driver integrated circuit package, wherein the cover plate has a surface facing the reinforcing member,wherein the reinforcing member comprises a main body and at least one protruding portion extending from the main body, wherein the main body of the reinforcing member contacts and covers i) part of the first surface of the chassis base and ii) part of the second surface of the chassis base,wherein the protruding portion extends toward the surface of the cover plate and maintains a space, for the at least one driver integrated circuit package, between the main body and the cover plate, wherein the plasma display device further comprises an adhesive member formed between the first surface of the chassis base and the plasma display panel so as to define a gap between the chassis base and the plasma display panel, and wherein at least part of the main body is formed in the gap.

Abstract
A plasma display device is disclosed. In an embodiment, the plasma display device includes a plasma display panel, a circuit board assembly, a chassis base, a signal transmission member, a cover plate, and a reinforcing member. The reinforcing member is assembled to an edge of the chassis base. The reinforcing member includes a main body and a protruding portion protruded therefrom. The protruding portion is protruded toward an internal surface of the cover plate. It secures a space, for the signal transmission member, between the main body and the cover plate.
